"It it's dreadful!" stammered the teacher, shrinking back with a moan. "It would be, if it were true," said the girl. "But Gran'pa Jim is no criminal, we all know. He's the best man that ever lived, and the whole trouble is that this foolish officer has mistaken him for someone else. I heard him, with my own ears, tell the man he was mistaken." Miss Stearne reflected.
During the period of the Commonwealth one would have supposed that intellectual men would be entirely preoccupied with more weighty matters than the guilt of witches. But the many executions that followed in the wake of Hopkins and Stearne had invested the subject with a new interest and brought new warriors into the fray. Half a dozen writers took up the controversy.
It was a week or so after her arrival that Peter Conant said to her one evening: "I have now received ample funds for all your needs, Mary Louise, so I have sent to Miss Stearne to have your trunk and books forwarded." "Oh; then you have heard from Gran'pa Jim?" she asked eagerly. "Yes." "Where is he?" "I do not know," chopping the words apart with emphasis. "The Colonel has been very liberal.
The swimming ordeal was perhaps unofficial; see Stearne, 19. Another case was that of Elizabeth Chandler, who was "duckt"; Witches of Huntingdon, 8. Tilbrooke-bushes, Stearne, 11; Risden, ibid., 31. This may be inferred from Stearne's words: "but afterward I heard that she made a very large confession," ibid., 31.

"When did he say he'd send it?" "He paid me in advance, to the end of the present term," answered the agitated Miss Stearne. "Foxy old boy! Seemed to think of everything. I'm going, now; but take this warning both of you.
Get Stearne house or Ridgeway house. Wanna have it so people say: 'There's Ahearn house. Solid, you know, tha's effec' it gives." Evylyn flushed. This didn't sound right at all. Still Ahearn didn't seem to notice anything amiss, only nodded gravely. "Have you been looking " But her words trailed off unheard as Harold's voice boomed on. "Get house tha's start. Then you get know people.
Mary Louise reflected, with a little shock of pain, that her mother had never been very near to her and that Miss Stearne might well perform such perfunctory duties as the girl had been accustomed to expect. But no one could ever take the place of Gran'pa Jim. "Thank you, Miss Stearne," she said. "I am sure I shall be quite contented here. Is my room ready?"
As she packed her trunk behind the locked door of her room an unnecessary precaution, since the girls generally avoided her society Mary Louise considered whether to confide the fact of her going to Miss Stearne or to depart without a word of adieu.
"You're looking on the seamy side, Mable," she said with a smile, "and you're not quite just to the school. I believe your parents sent you here because Miss Stearne is known to be a very competent teacher and her school has an excellent reputation of long standing.
